OT: pair of FRS radios free to good home.
by William Dudley 19 Sep '21

19 Sep '21

Apologies for non-VCF content, but don't have another group of electronics users like this one. I have been given a pair of Kenwood UBZ-LF14 FRS (467MHz) radios. They are missing their belt clips but look otherwise in good nick. I have not tested them. The manual is downloadable online. I will ship if you pay shipping.

VCF Hoodies reorder!
by Jeffrey Brace 17 Sep '21

17 Sep '21

Hello everyone, It's been years since we have made an order for hoodies. I'm doing my best to have some available before VCF East, so I will be putting in an order over the next week or so. There are different types of hoodies. Does anyone have any preferences? For example: Zipper No-zipper Sport-tek Heavy Blend Dry Blend Super Sweats It will have the VCF logo on it like last time. ========================================= Jeff Brace Vice President & Board Member Vintage Computer Festival East Show-runner Vintage Computer Federation is a 501c3 charity http://www.vcfed.org/ jeffrey(a)vcfed.org

I’m sending a note to people on the list here that know anything about the Compaq model III Model 2660?
